TvNewsLies would like to thank our generous supporters for their donations! Below you will find a partial list of how your donations are being used.
TVNL, LTD. is a nonprofit 501(3)(c) corporation.
Our goal is to use the bulk of the donations to advertise our message and alert the public about media deception. We feel that we must inform the public about the dangerous problem of media deception in this country. It is not enough to preach to the choir, we must reach out and educate the people who are totally unaware of the problem or of the extent of the problem. We are trying to do this with enticing messages (ads) that make people want to poke around and see what this site is all about. Ads can be very affordable ($8 for 10,000 text links of a little site), or they can be rather expensive, $2500 and up for the big sites.
So far our first ads have been extremely successful. When we started this site we were hoping that by September 2003 we would be getting 100 visitors per day. Well I can tell you that it is only August and our daily readership is in the multi-thousands, with new people visiting every day. Hundreds of web sites around the world have permanent links to us because they support our mission. This is wonderful news!
While a portion of the donations are spent on operating costs (web hosting, office supplies etc.), the bulk of the donations are being spent on getting the message out. A great deal of money went towards producing the Loaded Deck, which has turned out to be a successful advertisement in itself! The cards are sparking interest and they are drawing people to this site. You are making a difference! Here are some of the place we have been able to advertise thanks to your donations:

Purchased a notbook computer to be used for remote updates to the site, and as a monitoring system for our live webcasts. During the webcast we have to monitor the broadcast sound levels, read listener e-mail, read listener instant messages, monitor messages from our assistiant editor and at the same time we need to read articles from the web. Having the second computer makes this possible. The price of the system was $1150.
